Update

On Wednesday, October 17, 2007, Charlie Spigel, The Sports Manager of the Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitor's Bureau, attended my Sports Marketing class to sit in on what was going on in class and how it was run.

Charlie and I met and discussed updates on what I was to be doing, the Facilities Guide, as well as a calendar of events for surrounding Sport Teams in Fayetteville as well as sporting events.

On Thursday October 18, 2007, Charlie and I spent a day visiting clients, hotels,and schools, while developing relationships with clients and discussing events that are being held in Fayetteville. Some specific places we visited we're the Holiday Inn Bordeaux with the Sales Manager, Jessica Taylor; Vernon Aldridge, the Athletic Director at Pine Forest High School, and Doc Tinsley with Rugby Tournaments.

I have developed relationships with clients, as well as learning what it takes to build a tournament at a destination such as Fayetteville. Throughout the next few weeks, I will finish the Facilities Guide, and work on developing a Calendar of Events in Fayetteville with facilities such as MU, FSU, and HS Football Teams.

Thank You
